1 Producer Spotlight Passion Fuels the Fire
2 E ven though Cory and Lacey Rains, of Rains Livestock, have always had a deep passion for the livestock industry, that fire has taken on a different shape. Growing up raising, showing and selling show steers and heifers, Cory always knew he wanted livestock to play a major role in his life, but it wasn t until an after school gig that Cory realized show pigs were going to be his future. Cory was raised on a Shorthorn and Polled Hereford operation in Rotan, Texas. Alongside his sister, Katrina, they showed steers and heifers across the state of Texas and the country. This upbringing sparked his passion for raising stock. Like his sister, Cory went to Clarendon College, where he judged on the competitive livestock and meats teams, and then he completed his undergraduate education at Texas Tech where he continued his judging career. It was in college that Cory first got involved in show pigs. During college I wanted to find a way to stay involved with producing livestock, Cory said. But living in a dorm room or renting a house didn t allow me to have enough acreage to run cows. My first college roommate, Travis Quirk, had a burning passion for the show pig industry and he lined me up with a job working for Mike Clay. The job started out as clipping and prepping weanlings for sales, but quickly evolved into Cory and Travis getting a couple of gilts from Mike and raising their own hogs. From that point we used any garage or abandoned shed in our back yard to farrow and peddle show pigs, Cory recalled. Once Cory started getting more involved, he used a facility of Stanley Young s near Lubbock, but now have continued to grow Rains Livestock in Roscoe, where he and his family call home. Today, Cory and Lacey are raising their three sons, Crayton, Cole and the newest addition Crosson, on their farm. Rains Livestock currently consists of approximately 20 Poland, Spot, Yorkshire and Crossbred sows that are primarily farrowed in the summer and fall, targeting the Texas Majors. In addition to raising pigs, Cory is also the agriculture education teacher at Sweetwater High School. There is no question that raising livestock and teaching Ag makes for very long days, and doing both successfully can be difficult. If it weren t for a very supportive wife that sacrifices her time to keep the farm operating while I m gone for contests, camps, and conventions, things would be a disaster, Cory explained. There are several other successful breeders in the state that also teach Ag and I bet everyone of them has a better half that keep things under control while they are away. Rains Livestock is the result of two people who both wholeheartedly love the show industry. Being involved in the livestock industry is something that I guess comes naturally to Lacey and I, Cory explained. The hog business kind of found me in college and my drive and passion for the stock show industry led us to where we are today.
3 Like any endeavor, Cory didn t just blink and all of a sudden have a successful show pig business. Although his grandfather raised and showed hogs many years ago, it wasn t until Cory got directly involved with the production of raising hogs that he really grew his business. I would say guys like Stanley Young, Kyle Stephens, and Mike Clay were producers that I admire and soaked up knowledge from, Cory credited. Whether it was being able to use their facilities, genetics, or just listening to them, they were the first guys that I leaned on. That s one of the best parts of this industry; building relationships is what strengthens it and I have had the opportunity to meet and build friendships with some of the best in the business. Cory has combined the knowledge he has gained with his understanding of livestock and built a consistent, high quality sow herd. Some of the best advice I was given early on is that the show pig industry is a pendulum that s always swinging from one extreme to the next, Cory described. If you can raise good livestock that stays right in the middle, you will be successful. This is the motto that Rains Livestock sticks to. Cory says all good livestock are first fundamentally sound and built correct from the ground up. The top two priorities that Cory looks at when looking at anything is their feet placement and structural alignment. Cory and Lacey are also very strict when it comes to the farm s keep/cull decisions. At our farm we are very selective on what females stay around, Cory explained. We feel that being very selective from a phenotypic stand point while maintaining the genetic base to make the next generation better is the best form of progress. The females that we have built our herd around are not extreme in any one area and may look like just another sow to some, but their practicality is what has allowed them to be great producers for us. There are a few key foundation females on the farm. On the Crossbred side, their sows Old School and Rose Queen together have generated several division banners, the Grand Barrow at San Angelo and 24 sale-making barrows; it s their keeper daughters that get Cory excited about the future of their breeding program. Additionally, Cory and Lacey partnered with Levi Canales on a Poland sow which has catapulted Rains Livestock into the breed. Tiffany has raised two of the hottest Poland boars in the country and is still setting the pace around here with her daughters. Above: Crayton (left) and Cole (right) excitedly announcing the upcoming arrival of their baby brother, Crosson. Below: You got to beat that West Texas heat somehow.
4 The hog business kind of found me in college and my drive and passion Above: Cole practicing his showmanship techniques. This mindset is what helps Rains Livestock stay ahead of what they identify as one their biggest challenges. Staying relevant is tough in this business, Cory admitted. Most show pig producers know that the stock show industry is all about who is hot! To me it is very easy for people to get caught up in the moment and become somewhat content with success. But you can t sit idle and not continue to progress. If a farm has trouble continuing that hot streak, it is very tough to stay relevant to the customer or industry. Many producers see or feel this challenge, but to overcome it is more difficult. Like everyone who has anything to do with livestock production, Cory agrees that adhering to strict regulations, like the upcoming antibiotic regulations, but still fighting illness also makes things challenging. Cory may have only been raising hogs for a short period of time, but you wouldn t guess that from his dedication, drive and victories. Getting started was tough. We began with a couple gilts that I purchased cheap during college and have tried to build from within, Cory explained. We started from the ground up with no facilities, equipment or a genetic base, so it was a struggle to get going. But it was those relationships and friendships that we formed with other breeders and customers that allowed us to approach this hurdle for the stock show industry led us to where we are today.
5 and finally get over it. Their plan is to expand Rains Livestock, but not necessarily in numbers. Both Cory and Lacey want to transition into farrowing more year round. Currently they have several sows set to farrow this winter to target World Pork Expo and the Summer Spectacular. Their goal is to have pigs available for more than just the demanding Texas-majors market. Corey and Lacey know they are going to keep raising good hogs for good kids. They strongly believe that there is no better place for their kids to be than in the barns. They know that the success of their pigs in the ring determines their future as producers, but it s the friendships and the lessons that caring for livestock teaches kids, that both of them keep as their top priority. Raising livestock is a great avenue to educate and mold youth, Cory explained. As an Ag teacher, breeder and parent I enjoy getting to interact with and impact young people on a daily basis. This industry is such an amazing teaching tool and stepping-stone for so many kids future in agriculture and their careers. Being able to be a part of that is what makes it so exciting for us.
